SanDisk's Sansa m200 series

You really can't go wrong with this affordable feature-filled, Janus-compatible flash player, which is available in up to 4GB of capacity.

Available in up to 4GB capacity; solid value; includes FM tuner and voice recorder; compatible with WMA DRM 10 (Janus) and Audible files; decent controllers; on-the-go playlists.

Bulky (but lightweight); no line-in recording; poorly backlit display; only one quality option for voice recording.

With its many features as well as its compatibility with audiobooks and subscription-based music, the SanDisk Sansa m200 series is an overall great value.

Perfect price

It's not the biggest thing, but when you just have a few songs at a time you want on there, this works perfect.

I bought this MP3 player for my mom who has always tried to mooch off of my MP3 player for awhile now. She just needed something light, easy to handle, not so small that you lose it, and not too large in MBs. This thing works perfectly

It isnt 1 GB, but you know what you're buying

Great Deal

I would definitely buy this mp3 player again.

High quality sound, nice control layout, fast & easy to manage files, FM radio, low price, 19 hour battery life

It is a bit thick & heavy, bigger than a roll of quarters for example. Also, the shape is awkward in both my pocket & my hand. The combo-deal case looks just like a baby's sock, not something I like at all. I recommend buying a case seperately with an...

Not all U want, but all U need

I just purchased a new iP*d Nan* for me. The kids got MP3 fever so how can you go wrong at that price. I bought 2.

Simplicity, Flexibility and Sound quality. Onboard tuner and 5 band EQ. Stock headphones are excellent ; 64K WMA files sound better than iP*d at 128k. Fairly easy to use. Works on AAA battery. No recharge time

So it won't play video... and the navigation has a little bit of a learning curve. 512MB isn't a lot of storage but it will hold over 200 songs @ 64K rate

so easy a caveman can do it!

confused on why people need support from a drag and drop player? maybe the EQ is the hardest part. but even then the average person won't need it. don't have to have the player off when transfering music.

no software needed guys. not even windows media player. its a plug n play which means windows picks it up after you plug it in. all you have to do is go into windows explorer and copy the music you want and then paste it in the "data" folder on what...

smalls screen sometimes makes it hard to read. but nothing to bad

Docs/Manual useless

Low price

The manual supplied with this player is virtually useless. The "support" web site isn't much better. You just have to play around with it to figure out how to use it. I would not reccomend this player to a friend

wonderful for price

Remember to turn off player before plugging into computer. Drove my wife nuts.

Drag and drop files from computer with ease. The backlight is not necessary to see the display (amazing when compared to my other mp3 players). Easy to see and use play pause stop next and back buttons. FM receiver picks up very well. We own several...

For the first time writing a reveiw, no cons

Nice MP3 player

I am just too dang cheap to buy an IPod. Got this thing, 2 video cards, and 2 laser mice for the price of a medium end IPod.

Works. MMC card slot increased capacity to 1GB for less than 10 bucks. AAA battery can be a +/- depending on if you prefer switching batteries to relying on the internal battery to keep working. Given that these devices don't last more than a couple of...

Battery cover is loose outside plastic sleeve. I will lose it eventually
